Got a guitar Got a guitar on my back And I'm standing on this lonesome railroad track Train's a-coming It'll be here 'fore too long But I don't think I can stop it with a song Girl, that's kind of the way I'm feelin' Trying to stop your leaving Got a pebble Got a pebble in my hand And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande But the river keeps running Don't even know that I'm around I could throw in a million more and not slow it down Girl, that's kind of the way I'm feeling Trying to stop your leaving There's nothing I wouldn't try If I thought it would change your mind But you don't love me No, you don't love me anymore And I know as soon as you walk out that door Train's a-coming River's running Train's a-coming, river's running Pain's a-coming, tears are running And that's kind of the way I'm feeling Knowing I couldn't stop your leaving
